ムライティブ地区
ムライティブ地区はスリランカの 25 地区の 1 つで、国の第 2 レベルの行政区画です。この地区は、スリランカ中央政府によって任命された地区書記官(以前は政府代理人として知られていた)が長を務める地区事務局によって管理されています。この地区の首都はムライティブの町です。
現在のムライティブ地区の一部は植民地化以前のジャフナ王国の一部でした。その後、この地区はポルトガル、オランダ、イギリスの管理下に置かれました。 1815年、イギリスはセイロン島全体の支配権を獲得しました。彼らは島を、低地シンハラ人、キャンディアン・シンハラ人、タミル人の民族に基づいた 3 つの行政構造に分割しました。この地区は当時ヴァンニ地区の一部であり、タミル政権の一部であった。 1833 年、コールブルック・キャメロン委員会の勧告に従って、民族に基づいた行政構造が、地理的に 5 つの州に分かれた単一行政に統合されました。ヴァンニ地区は、ジャフナ地区およびマナール地区とともに、新しい北部州を形成しました。
ヴァンニ地区は後にムライティブ地区、そしてヴァヴニヤ地区と改名されました。この地区は、18 世紀後半にジャフナ半島、主にアラヴェディ、ウドゥピディ、ナヴァリーの住民によって植民地化されました。セイロンが独立した当時、ヴァヴニヤは北部州にある 3 つの地区のうちの 1 つでした。ムライティブ地区は、1978 年9 月に当時のジャフナ地区、マナー地区、トリンコマリー地区の一部とともにバブニヤ地区の北部を切り開いて設立されました。
ムライティブ地区は内戦中、長年にわたって反政府勢力「タミル・イーラム解放の虎」の支配下にあった。この地区は2009年初めにスリランカ軍によって奪回された。
ムライティブ地区はスリランカ北東部の北部州に位置しています。面積は 2,617 平方キロメートル (1,010 平方マイル) です。
ムライティブ地区は 6 つの地方長官部門 (DS 部門) に分かれており、それぞれの部門長官 (以前は政府補佐官として知られていた) が長を務めています。 DS 師団はさらに 136 のグラマ ニラダリ師団 (GN 師団) に細分されます。
